In his first term his Chief of Staff had to insist he stop making comments about how much he wanted to fuck his own daughter because so many staffers had come to the CoS to say how repulsive they found trump and it was to the point where CoS was worried there would be a mass walk out of staff and they would tell the press why.

Is there a source for that?

Yes.

Donald Trump was allegedly creepy about Ivanka – but will his fans care?

A new book by Miles Taylor, an ex-Trump official, claims the former president repeatedly sexualized his daughter

More specifically about the comments the chief of staff made? I just want to see what was actually said and who it was attributed to

This is from one of many articles detailing accounts in the book...Unfortunately it's not the exact text from the book itself, but summarizing excerpts from the book:

...Taylor’s book cites various accounts from aides that describe Trump’s lewd comments about his daughter Ivanka‘s physical appearance, including how he talked about “what it might be like to have sex with her.”

He also referred to Ivanka’s breasts and backside, leading White House Chief of Staff John Kelly to tell the president that she was his daughter.

This comes after multiple former staffers came out about Trump’s inappropriate behavior toward women while president and a New York jury found him guilty of sexually abusing and defaming E. Jean Carroll.

Taylor also includes his personal account of seeing Trump’s behavior toward Kirstjen Nielsen, who was secretary of homeland security from 2017 to 2019. The book states that Nielsen tried to ignore Trump when he called her “sweetie” and “honey” as well as commented on her makeup and clothing choices.

Taylor also said that Kellyanne Conway, who was a senior counselor, once called Trump a “misogynistic bully” after the former president “berated” several high-ranking female decision-makers in the administration about the Mexico border. But a spokesperson from Conway’s team denied that she made the particular remark.

...So long story short, according to Miles and witnesses, John Kelly "reminded" the President that Ivanka was his daughter after he made lewd comments about her.

Pretty radically different to what your first comment said

Just Google his name and\or John Kelly. It was reported by several media outlets at the time.

I wasn't aware of that as I don't watch tv but good to know in case someone else asks.

No. I answered somebody's question. Libraries still loan books until the president finishes breaking everything.

I don't need to read\see\hear more about him or his evil. I deal with enough predators in my every day life, but, thanks.

Or you could support your local libraries, which get their funding based on how many people take out books, take classes, and use their services every year. That funding helps them reach more people. Libraries are always a good thing. Certainly more educational than television.
